A fantastic write-up on board games + tariffs from the good Game Crafter, who is a US manufacturer. "No tarrifation without rationalization", I daresay! #boardgames #gamecrafter #tariffs news.thegamecrafter.com/post/7802767...

Played Aeolos. Almost likeable. It's an "OG" style game with simple rules, and some mild interaction. I found the vanilla rule set too light for me, but there is an added expansion that I think is needed for hard-core gamers like myself. #boardgames #bgg #brettspiel

My teen son and I enjoyed Cukoo. Good, not great. More thriller than horror, but a weird, complex premise. #Cukoo #horror #movies www.imdb.com/title/tt1234...

This series is starting to grow on me. The initial premise was great, then it started to get weird, then it got even weirder and that's the point. #FiredOnMars

Yspahan. Great, old classic. (Do play with the one-card per caravan building variant.) I like this blend of dice, board, cubes. Euro-delicious! #bgg #boardgames #brettspiel

How many MAGAs does it take to screw in a light bulb? None. Trump says it’s fixed and they all applaud in the dark.

I tried to teach my group the game Madeira, but the rules were too complex for some and we didn't finish. Maybe 3 players would be better. I really liked it, though. Anyone want to play? #bgg #boardgames #brettspiel

Bites is a simple, fast, but math-heavy game. It's a point manipulation game. Actually quite fun and thrilling. The cards change up the rules, but honestly I'd keep the ant-hill scoring the same and change up the chocolate/wine/special rules. #boardgames #bgg #brettspiel

Funny, never played this until now. The description never "called" to me, like Samurai (not my thing) or Ra (amazing), and the rules turned me off a little, but I really liked Taj Mahal. Loved the bidding. What fun to find a crazy-old game and discover something new. #boardgames #bgg #brettspiel

Sardegna (Kreta). It was "okay", but I prefer Web of Power series (Han, China, Iwari). Random card flips were fortuitous, I think the variant of 3 face up cards is warranted. Crunchy game, though. #boardgames #bgg #brettspiel

Whistle Mountain, 4 players. A unique, interesting game, but a bit unpolished. With a bit of streamlining, it could be an amazing game. We had fun with it. #boardgames #bgg #beziergames #brettspiel

Not a fan of OSX Brew. It hides a lot of what it does. It seems to have died at "==> Running brew cleanup", and I don't know what it's doing.

Forest Shuffle. My chestnut tree armada was sunk by another chestnut tree armada, armed with butterfly cannons! Not a bad game, but not the right fit for my group. #boardgames #bgg #forestshuffle #brettspiel
